Attracted by the colourful posters displayed on the front gate of some shops. Perfect place to take some photos.

The method of selling handmade sesame soup or sesame paste at Shangxiajiu pedestrian street is very interesting. You can watch how they grind and prepare the sesame paste. An effective way to promote business and attract customer.

Really lucky that I managed to capture some photos and video.

These two guys shout and sing and they have great voices. You can find new singing talent here. They shouted in Cantonese and Mandarin. Imagine they have to shout and sing everyday.

“Hand grinding sesame paste is the most delicious…..”. Watch the video here. Sure you will love it.

Are you a fan of smelly bean curd?

Some might afraid to come near to the stall.  Here the kids queued for smelly bean curd after school.

Sorting out dried seahorses.  This is one of the photos taken during a visit to Qingping Market, Guangzhou.

Interesting costume? He is selling traditional snack. You can find him at Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, Guangzhou.

Went for a walk and found this little girl enjoying sugar cane by the riverside.

The kid is trying to hide from us. So cute.

Selling tea eggs is a common sight in China.  Tea egg is one of the famous snacks and normally sold by street vendors.

Not sure the purpose of the plastic cup in the boiling pot.

Walking along a street, found two ladies selling traditional Chinese vases.

We were wondering around Fangcun, Liwan District, Guangzhou. The weather was so cold (around 6 degree Celsius).

We were curious of what she was selling and asked weather we can snap some photos.  She was so happy and gave us a sweet smile.

Really happy to meet this lady and her family

Soft drink as one of the ingredients for fried noodles? No, this is how a fried noodle seller reuse the soft drink bottles.

Established in 1941, Shing Kheang Aun restaurant in Penang is very popular among the locals and tourists for its Hainanese cuisine and local dishes.

It was great to be there and we love the interior environment of the restaurant. The heritage prewar building, wooden chairs, wooden tables , marble floor, marble table top etc which are very well preserved.

Do take note of how they serve their customer seated on the first floor. Very interesting. They deliver the dishes from the ground floor kitchen with pulley system.

We overheard people around us in the restaurant. They were impressed by the pulley system and the old fashion style of this restaurant. Some even said they wanted to try all the dishes.

Some of the famous dishes. Fried Salted Egg with Bitter Gourd and Tofu with prawns.

With a friendly smile, the restaurant owner asked me whether we managed to finish the dishes. ” Of course!” I replied.

As this restaurant is situated in the heritage city, you can enjoy the old historical streets and buildings after having your meal at Shing Kheang Aun restaurant.

Address of Shing Kheang Aun restaurant:-

Photos taken while walking along Stewart Lane, Penang.  Stewart Lane is named after Charles C. Stewart.

I was fortunate to see a milkman on his motorbike, bread seller cycled along Stewart Lane and a group of trishaws ferrying tourists for sightseeing.

The milkman drove off too fast that I was not able to take his photo.
